IDF strike kills at least 10 in southern Gaza humanitarian zone, medics say

An Israeli airstrike killed at least 10 Palestinians in a tent encampment sheltering displaced families in the southern Gaza Strip early on Thursday, medics in the Hamas-ruled territory say.

The 10 people, including women and children, were killed in a tent in the area of Al-Mawasi, designated as a humanitarian area in western Khan Younis, according to the medics. Fifteen people were also wounded, the medics add.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF, which has long insisted that it does not target civilians, while Hamas hides and fights among them.
